Support ICS with Annual Giving

Annual Giving provides parents with the opportunity to support ICS beyond tuition. Tax-deductible donations are used to supplement the budget, purchase equipment and services beyond the usual needs, and support faculty. It provides a resource to constantly improve the integration of technology into the daily routine and take advantage of unplanned opportunities. Solicitations begin in November, and every family is invited to participate some time before June 30. Everyone's participation helps improve the financial health of ICS, and provides a competitive edge for seeking resources outside the ICS community.

Stocks and Securities

If your investments in the financial markets have been successful, you can use these assets without losing a substantial portion of your earnings to the capital gains tax by making your gift with appreciated stock. Also, a gift of stock held more than one year may qualify for a charitable income tax deduction equal to the securities' full fair-market value. It is also possible to make a gift with appreciated securities in a mutual fund.

Because of capital gains considerations, it is often more beneficial to contribute appreciated securities directly to Indian Creek School rather than to sell them and donate the proceeds of the sale. If you would like to make a gift of stock to Indian Creek School, please transfer the stock to:

Indian Creek's Merrill Lynch Account #707 04224
DTC # 5198
Rick Cullen, Financial Consultant
410.263.0113, Consultant's Phone

To ensure our ability to promptly acknowledge your gift, please advise your broker to name you on a trailer on the transaction confirmation or contact Traci Ramsey 410.849.5154.
